Paul,Thank you.  You were correct, it was a version issue.  When I opened the form in Reader 9 with JAWS 10, I was aable to arrow through all of the check boxes with correct identification of each field.  Thanks again for all your help.

I agree that should be the case.  However, when I open the form in Reader the fields do not appear, then when I run the form through accessibility testing using Acrobat Pro 8.1 and JAWS it reads the fields aloud.  It does not recognize it when you tab through the form.  I am not sure if this is even...

Is there a setting on a hidden field that can be selected or unselected so that screen reader technology such as JAWS does not read it aloud?

It did not work on that test form either.  What version of Adobe Professional are you using?  I am using 8.1.

Thank you for the quick reply.  However that did not correct the issue.  When I tried to arrow over to the next answer selection the cursor does not move.  Do I need to change a setting in the check box group for this to occur?

I am running a 508 accessibility test on forms created in Adobe.  The issue that I am having is that when I verify the tab order, it skips the second or any other check boxes in a check box group.  Does anyone know where to set it to recognize all the boxes in a check box group?
